Troy,
You're right this is not the forum to complain about the upgrade process. And you're correct that if I had read the release notes, I might have discovered that it would be better to wait. On the other hand, if a release has significant bugs, it might be better to delay the release, or change the upgrade process to deal with the missing components in a more graceful manner.
For the most part, the point I'm making is that many of us have fallen into the trap of thinking that Ubuntu has become a mainstream operating system vs. a hobbyist OS. Clearly, it's not ready to be a mainstream OS and is still better suited to hobbyists than a general audience. This is more of an observation than a complaint.
